A man was abusive towards you, mentally and verbally. Do you keep occasional civil contact?

Nooooo, not normal. Oh my, two months in we should still be on our best behavior. 56 years old and single tells us a lot.

I'm a 58 year old widow, and men that age should have no trouble finding a partner, women outliving men and all that. You're better off alone. Nobody needs that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
